Increased Enrollment and Campus Construction

Please be prepared this spring for an increase in traffic due to multiple construction projects. Be sure to come to campus early and allow for extra commuting time and use the recommended parking alternatives.

Robertson Stadium - For the spring semester, lots 12B and 15D are no longer accessible as well as a significant portions of lot 12A due to construction of the new football stadium and the Metro light rail line. Alternate parking options include lots 8A and 9C (economy) as well as our Leek Street gravel lots 16E, 16J, 16I and 16H located on Cullen just north of Elgin. We also encourage you to take advantage of the parking available at the Energy Research Park at 5000 Gulf Freeway. Once parked at ERP, ride the shuttle bus to campus. The campus stop is located on UH Entrance 1 (University Drive) in front of the University Center.

Wheeler Street and Scott Street - Construction along Wheeler and Scott continues this year, making the decision to avoid these areas one that will save you time and frustration. Along with Metro light rail construction, the Cougar Village II construction project will create intermittent delays and road closures at Entrance 6. However, with the opening of the Campus Loop Road, driving from Cullen to University Drive and vice versa should a little more accessible. The Campus Loop Road is accessible at Entrance 13 off Cullen Boulevard, from Wheeler at Entrance 6 and from University Drive at Entrance 4.

It is the goal and responsibility of Parking and Transportation Services to keep the campus community alerted to events and conditions that affect campus parking and traffic. If you cannot find information on the event/conditions you are looking for, please contact us at parking@uh.edu.
